Hi, why on users who sign up you have to moderate and approve their posts every time?

Where inside options can I can disable approve posts for subscribers.

thank you

The same problem, only unconfirmed posts are visible to all and can be answered (quoted).

Only spam suspected topics and replies become unapproved, and only new registered users topic and posts are under spam control.

You can set New Registered user level 0 in Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Antispam admin page.

And not all just registered users topics and posts become Unapproved.  Spam suspicion level can be decreased in Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Antispam admin page to something like this:

  • Spam Suspicion Level for Topics: 10    
  • Spam Suspicion Level for Posts: 10

If you don't want to have this feature, just disable wpForo Spam Control on the same admin page.

Unconfirmed messages are visible to everyone - it's the way it should be?

Hi Robert, 

I set up wpForo on my forum recently, but I have this problem too. I disabled absolutely everything on the spam page, but every single post is still moderated (except mine).  Do you have any suggestion as to why this might be?

I can't edit my own message, so I'm typing a reply. 

I realise now I hadn't checked "Front - Can Pass Moderation" in the usergroup permissions. I do find that a bit confusing.  I think it should be labelled "Front - Can bypass Antispam moderation" or something related to the actual settings.

I also think it would be more useful if all the "Tools" tabs were integrated into the settings screen, to make specific settings easier to find.

Hi vtr666,

Your issue doesn't have any relation to the problem mentioned above. My reply was related to the first post of this post.

Please open a new topic and leave some URL to allow us check it. So we should make sure the unapproved topic/posts are visible for guests.

Also please note, the unapproved topic and posts can be visible for topic/post owner too. Not only for admins.
